Part 5 Pirate Legends 25, Solomon
The legend of Bai Haishan and Wang Cuiqiao is indeed embarrassing, just when the Bai father and son hugged their heads and cried, they heard Lin Feng suddenly ask: "Lord Venerable Weng, the treasure buried in the Oseya tribe, you said that you took it from the pirate king's hands, but I heard another way of saying it. γLatest chapter reading. γβ
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at Lin Feng, only to see him wave his hand outside the ancestral hall, and immediately walked into a Western missionary, who came to the front of Bai Haishan, bowed deeply, and spoke: "Dear old man Bai, from the New World of Bodosi, named Tridani, I heard that Your Excellency is a disciple of St. Francis Xavier, and it is a great honor to meet him here today. Today, I want to ask my seniors for advice. β
So, Bai Haishan let go of his son Oreto, got up and asked, "But I don't know what you said?" β
Legend has it that a huge treasure was buried in the Osea tribe on the island of New Guinea, attracting many greedy pirates to hunt for the treasure, and the Japanese princess even fantasized about using these treasures to help her restore the kingdom. The sailors who had followed you to Japan were all gone, and Chief Oretto called the old men of the tribe to inquire about it, and you did bring back a large amount of cloth and food, and did not have any gold, silver, jewelry, or anything like that......"
Before Tridani could finish speaking, Bai Haishan nodded and replied, "Your Excellency is right, Oseia does not have any treasures, and the so-called Treasure D is actually a refuge. β
"So, may I ask Your Excellency Bai Haishan, did you and Princess Maria conquer the Solomon Islands east of Osseea back then?" Tridani asked.
Bai Haishan's face changed suddenly when he heard this, and he hurriedly said, "I don't know what Solomon Islands you mentioned!" β
"It's okay, maybe you don't know the name. Because the name Solomon Islands was just given 10 years ago. Tridani said, smiling at Aureto, and continued, "Both the chief and the princess wanted to get this treasure in order to build ships, recruit troops, and purchase firearms, and conquer first Japan and the Ryukyus, and then the Middle East, and then unify the world." β
At this time, Oretto nodded at his father, and said, "Daddy, before my mother died, she said to me that God has given us a great fortune, and only you can open that treasure, and if you cannot return to Osea in this life, it will be considered a gift to God; If you can come back, then this wealth will be able to see the light of day and realize your dream of helping the world at the same time. β
It seemed that this Western missionary had already mastered the secret of the treasure, which made Bai Haishan quite confused, and couldn't help but ask: "Your Excellency Tridani, may I ask where are the Solomon Islands you are talking about?" β
Tridani replied, "In the ocean east of Oseia, with a tailwind, it is only a day's journey. Both Mr. Philip and Mr. Filip are very strange, I wonder how you have mastered the secret of King Solomon? β
"What do you say? King Solomon? Bai Haishan was very puzzled.
"Yes, it probably goes back more than 2,000 years...... Tridani then begins to tell the story of King Solomon.
More than 1,100 years before the birth of Jesus, David, the leader of the Jewish tribes at the time, conquered Jerusalem and established the Kingdom of Judea, and after David's death, his son Solomon ascended the throne.
Solomon's extraordinary intellect and bravery in battle made the surrounding nations both feared and respected, so that these countries paid him a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry, and precious spices every year, and the kingdom of Judea was rich and rich, and later generations called the "Golden Age".
In recognition of his feats, Solomon ordered the construction of a majestic palace on Mount Zion, known as the "First Temple" in the Old Testament β 1 Kings, which became known as the Temple of the Lord. The temple, which took seven years to build, was structurally rigorous and beautifully shaped, and was used by worshippers to perform pilgrimages and sacrifices. Later, it took another thirteen years to build the palace of the pharaoh's daughter, the palace of the Libanen, the columned corridor, the throne hall and other magnificent palaces and other complexes.
In the center of the temple there is a huge "Abrahamic Sacred Rock", directly under which a secret tunnel was built to lead to the underground palace, where the countless treasures collected by King Solomon are stored, and the most precious sacred relics of Judaism, the "Golden Ark of the Covenant" and the "Code of Sinai", are placed in the temple chapel, which is the origin of the world-famous "Treasure of Solomon".
Legend has it that on the top of Mount Sinai, God gave Moses an oracle and a code of law, requiring the Israelites to obey everything in all times, so Moses asked two skilled craftsmen to engrave the oracle on the stone tablet, and put the stone tablet and the code into a special gold chest made of gold, which is the witness between the Israelites and God Jehovah, which is the origin of the "Golden Ark of the Covenant" and the "Code of Sinai".
After more than 500 years, the Jewish kingdom declined, and the neo-Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar II captured Jerusalem, and he coveted Solomon's treasure, so he ordered his men to open the underground palace of the "Abrahamic Sacred Rock", however, the palace was so complex that it was like a labyrinth, and they all returned empty-handed, and the whereabouts of the "Golden Ark of the Covenant" and the "Sinaitic Code" were unknown. So Nebuchadnezzar II became angry and set fire to the entire temple when the Babylonian army withdrew from Jerusalem, and the royal palace and temple were burned down, and a large number of Jews were taken to Babylon and became "prisoners of Babylon."
In the book of Exodus, God said to Moses, "I will let you know that I am right there, speaking to you between the two cherubs on the lid of the ark, above the ark of witness." For thousands of years, people have been searching for the "treasure of Solomon" that includes it.
Ten years ago (1568 AD), the navigator Mendner led an expedition to a small island east of Oseia, he was surprised to find that the natives of this place were all wearing fine gold jewelry, and realized that there was a secret hidden on this island, and after a secret investigation, he was convinced that the "Solomon Treasure" was buried here, so he named the islands "Solomon Islands". Later, he traveled to Potosi and told the silver mine owner Filip the Elder the secret, hoping to use his wealth to unearth the "Golden Ark of the Covenant", the "Code of Sinai", and the "Treasure of Solomon."
Old Mr. Fili has sent Tridani to the Solomon Islands many times to investigate, and has never been able to calculate the location of the treasure, until he got a mysterious crystal skull, according to the legend of the Mayans, the crystal man is a messenger sent by angels to the world, holding all the secrets of mankind, in order to resurrect the crystal man, through many investigations, it was learned that the Oseia tribe in the depths of the ocean has a crystal body, so he came to buy it at all costs.
The story of Tridani's many negotiations with Hong Zhenren and the purchase of the crystal body, the previous document has already stated that after they let the crystal man "resurrect", they did not expect the crystal man to run away from the ship, Tridani was forced to return to pursue, but not as fast as the crystal man, and when they returned to the Oseya tribe, they learned that the crystal man went straight to the princess, at that time, mistakenly thought that this was the Japanese daimyo to chase and kill the princess, Oreto let her board the magical speedboat and go out to hide, But he didn't expect to run thousands of miles this way.
Tridani didn't hide it, telling Chief Oletto and Lin Feng that they had come to find Solomon's treasure. Lin Feng was shocked to learn of this, and he immediately told Oreto a secret, there was a mysterious DX in the south of the Osaya tribe, maybe it was the place where the treasure of Baihai Mountain was hidden.
In order to dig up the treasure, Lin Feng once started a life-and-death battle with Hong Zhenren, and through the childish princess, he tempted Oretto to have the ambition to conquer the world, and of course he had the will to dig the treasure, so they turned on the mysterious DX, and in the end they were all disappointed, which further strengthened Tridani's judgment that the mysterious treasure must be buried in the Solomon Islands.
Listening to this bizarre and absurd story, Bai Haishan couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion, whether it was his beloved wife Maria or Wang Cuiqiao, their judgment was right, this tempting wealth was enough to make anyone crazy. Therefore, Wang Cuiqiao said on that nautical chart that she would donate this huge wealth to God; Thinking that this wealth might bring disaster to Oseia, Maria secretly transferred this wealth to the so-called "Solomon Islands" with the consent of Bai Haishan, and in order to keep it a secret, she left all those involved in the matter on the island, and rewarded them with many exquisite gold and silver ornaments.
Unexpectedly, these natives, dressed in gold and silver ornaments, were spotted by the navigator Mendena, who misled him into believing that he had found King Solomon's treasure.
Not long after Mendena's expedition left, Maria, as the chieftain, received the news and immediately ordered the islanders of the "Solomon Islands" to move and refill a new group of islanders, so that when old Filip sent people to the islands to investigate the whereabouts of the treasure, no one knew the secret. During the reign of Chief Maria, Bai Haishan, who went to rescue Wang Cuiqiao, went and did not look back, but Hong Zhenren came to Oseya, she knew that this was to hunt for treasure, and since the treasure had already been transferred, there was no need to guard against Hong Zhenren.
Hong Zhenren, who has been wandering for many years, did not expect that Bai Haishan could teach Chinese civilization to the Osaya tribe, as if he had also found a place to use, and during Bai Haishan's exile in the Philippines, he tried his best to assist Maria's mother and son, making the power of the Osaya tribe stronger and stronger; Chief Maria was unable to sleep and eat because of Sifu's heart, and eventually became ill and died young. On her deathbed, she told her son Aureto the story of her father, who told him to treat her as his own mother if he came to Oseya, and told him a secret that his father had enough wealth to buy half the world, and that he could only open the treasure when he returned.
It didn't take long for Chief Maria to pass away, and the newly grown Whiteeto inherited the chieftaincy, and built the ancestral hall on the top of the hill in accordance with his mother's will and with the help of Hong Zhenren.
